But I actually don't like it, and though I've never had the Northern/Midwestern dropped dumplings, it looks like I'd prefer it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/regional-chicken-and-dumplings#post-1231783 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 09:27:43 +0000 Koolbreeze 1231783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I grew up with my momma making Bisquick dumplins. I don't like them though. I love dumplins made from biscuits though so that's how I do it. I know a lot of people use biscuits around here just because its fast and easy. I live in NC. Oh, and no veggies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/regional-chicken-and-dumplings#post-1231764 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 09:24:01 +0000 Alivoo01 1231764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: My definition of chicken and dumplings too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/regional-chicken-and-dumplings#post-1231731 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 09:16:54 +0000 photojane 1231731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No veggies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/regional-chicken-and-dumplings#post-1231721 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 09:13:43 +0000 Corduroy 1231721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've also never tried chicken and dumplings - CA </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/regional-chicken-and-dumplings#post-1231648 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 08:52:59 +0000 blackbird 1231648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think chicken and dumplings are grooosssssss!!! I just can't get on board. </p> <p>The couple of times that DH's grandma has made it, it's like chicken stew (no veggies!) with doughy balls. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/regional-chicken-and-dumplings#post-1231610 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 08:39:13 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1231610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mother makes them, she learned from her mom who was from NC.</p> <p>Chicken and loads of carrots, celery, onions ans potatos. The broth is starchy. She then drops in quartered pillsbury biscuits. I'm sure my grandma didn't take the biscuit shortcut though.</p> <p>ETA: my mom was raised in PA. After reading all the comments maybe that's why hers has veggies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/regional-chicken-and-dumplings#post-1231554 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 08:17:14 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1231554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always thought chicken and dumplings was a Chinese dish until I moved to Virginia.

Then I met my IL's and she made southern style (like a noodle) and they are SOO good. Its the one thing I have asked my MIL to make for me when I'm sick! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/regional-chicken-and-dumplings#post-1231490 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 07:19:07 +0000 autumnlove 1231490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never tried any version!

I really like Cracker Barrel's recipe- especially since I love their okra too. </p> <p>If I'm making it at home I use Smitten Kitchen's recipe: <a href="http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2007/12/chicken-and-dumplings/" rel="nofollow">http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2007/12/chicken-and-dumplings/</a></p> <p>It is a super simple dumpling recipe, but it tastes so good that I lick the mixing bowl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/regional-chicken-and-dumplings#post-1231384 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 00:53:10 +0000 MamaJ 1231384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm from MS originally and we always did bisquick dumplings dropped in. And absolutely no vegetables or cream of chicken soup or any of that. MIL is a Yankee and makes hers with lots of veggies and uses cream of chicken soup in it somehow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/regional-chicken-and-dumplings#post-1231337 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 23:54:33 +0000 Weagle 1231337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer drop dumplings, but grew up with rolled out homemade dumplings (in AL). No veggies... That would essentially be chicken pot pie. Gross. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/regional-chicken-and-dumplings#post-1231311 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 23:28:10 +0000 lovehoneybee 1231311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: @Leialou: Ha, my family would agree :P I make a...creamy chicken stew with drop dumplings, I guess!

Veggies in chicken and dumpling is blasphemy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/regional-chicken-and-dumplings#post-1231268 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 22:31:42 +0000 T-Mom 1231268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love dropped dumplings the best and am not a fan of the pasta style! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/regional-chicken-and-dumplings#post-1231245 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 22:19:00 +0000 lovehoneybee 1231245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have a set recipe, I just kind of...improv it, but I was reading through the comments section of the Pioneer Woman's Chicken and Dumplings and I swear some of the Southern commenters were about to start a dumpling war! </p> <p>Ree's dumplings were dropped in and made of a mix of cornmeal and flour (mine are similar, actually!), but when I lived in the south the dumplings I had were made of Bisquick rolled out and cut into rectangles (like thick pasta). And there were no vegetables in it! </p> <p>So some of the ladies saying Ree's is just a chicken soup with dumplings made me snicker my agreement, because it's definitely NOT what I grew up eating...but I like her style better ;)</p> <p>What do you consider chicken and dumplings?
